NINE-TRACK ALBUM
KINDA SORTA COUNTRY
DUE OUT FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9

NASHVILLE, TN (June 26, 2026) — Today, pop-country singer/songwriter Naomi Jane delivers the official music video for “Clementines,” as she continues to roll out her forthcoming album Kinda Sorta Country, due Friday, October 9

With more than 14 million streams, 17 million video views, over 100,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, and three consecutive years of recognition from the International Songwriting Competition, the classically trained three-octave mezzo-soprano and multi-instrumentalist continues to emerge as a rising force in independent music, already catching attention from the media including LA Weekly, SPIN, and Billboard Argentina.

PRE-SAVE / PRE-ADD KINDA SORTA COUNTRY HERE.

Written and executive produced by Naomi and filmed by longtime collaborator Matthew Patrick Donner, the video serves as a heartfelt visual companion to the single. Following Naomi through different stages of life, it offers a tender portrait of enduring love, reframing romance not through grand gestures or dramatic moments, but through quiet acts of devotion and everyday care. Anchored by the lyric, “You’ll always pick the fruit right off the vine, so I’ll peel your clementines,” the video celebrates the small, meaningful moments that sustain a lasting relationship.

Inspired by the emotional resonance of classic love stories like The Notebook, the visual gains an added layer of authenticity through its casting: the actor portraying Naomi’s love interest appears alongside his real-life parents, who play an older couple. Their presence subtly underscores the video’s central message, that genuine love endures, deepening and evolving across generations.

“Clementines is about the kind of love that doesn’t need to announce itself” Naomi shares.

Released May 22, the warmhearted, folk-leaning sophomore single reveals a softer side of Naomi Jane’s artistic vision while deepening the album’s emotional arc. Co-written by Naomi Jane, Joey Hyde, and Adam Zelkind, Clementinescelebrates the quiet power of everyday love, centering on small, unspoken acts of care — coffee poured into a favorite mug, a neatly made bed, a kiss on the cheek — and the kind of devotion that asks for nothing in return.

Sonically, the track trades sharp edges for warmth, pairing understated production with Naomi’s expressive vocal performance. Elevated by Greg Leisz’s pedal steel, “Clementines” radiates a timeless Americana glow while remaining fresh and repeat-worthy, further showcasing Naomi Jane’s gift for balancing humor, heartbreak, and tenderness within a fully realized sonic world.

Kinda Sorta Country marks a defining creative statement for Naomi, embracing the album as a coming-of-age journey that explores the full scope of her influences while remaining rooted in the cinematic alt-pop foundation that first introduced her to listeners. Blending country storytelling traditions with indie vulnerability, theatrical flair, and hook-driven pop production, the record captures Naomi at the crossroads of grit and glitter, heartbreak and humor, self-reflection and self-possession. From summer-ready euphoric anthems to stripped-back acoustic ballads, the album showcases the widest emotional and sonic range of her career to date.

Across its nine tracks, collaborators bridge legacy and modernity, including pedal steel legend Greg Leisz, multi-platinum Nashville songwriter Joey Hyde, Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket, Greg Holden, and Jimmy Mattingly of Garth Brooks’ touring band, alongside production from Adam Zelkind. Together, they help shape a cohesive sonic world rooted in storytelling, organic instrumentation, and emotional precision.

What began with emotionally charged releases like “IDWK” — a pivotal single that signaled the start of a new creative chapter — fully comes into focus on Kinda Sorta Country, where country instrumentation and Americana textures seamlessly intertwine with the cinematic songwriting that has become her signature.

“‘Kinda Sorta Country’ does not reinvent me. It clarifies me, louder, sharper, and fully in command of my own story,” Naomi shares.
